Danny Boy.....爱尔兰民谣

今天Blog来了一个新朋友Romance. 欢迎光临! 她提起一首旧而且很好听的歌. 我第一次学guitar就是从这首歌开始的.

这首歌是爱尔兰的民谣. 今天的爱尔兰已经不属于英国. 歌曲就是描述为了爱尔兰的独立而战死的军人. 歌词是出于Thomas Moore的笔.



Oh Danny Boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling,
Oh Danny Boy, 笛子, 笛子的声音再次响起..

from glen to glen, and down the mountainside.
经过每个峡谷和山边...

The summer's gone, and all the flowers are falling.
夏天已经过去, 而花朵也开始凋谢了

'tis you, 'tis you must go and I must bide.
是你, 是你得离开而我得留下来

But come ye back when summer's in the meadow,
可是你会回来...当夏天再度回到原野

or when the valley's hushed and white with snow.
或者当山谷悄悄的铺上白雪..

and I'll be here in sunshine or in shadow.
我会在这里, 不管是晴天或阴天..

Oh Danny Boy, oh Danny Boy, I love you so.
Oh Danny Boy, oh Danny Boy...我爱你

But if you come, and all the flowers are dying.
要是你回来时看见所有的花儿也凋零了

And I'm dead, as dead I might well be
而我也死了, 死了也没关系...
.
Ye'll come and find the place where I am lying,
你一定要找到我被埋葬的地方

and kneel and say an Ave there for me.
跪下来为我祈祷....

And I will hear, though soft you tread above me.
我会听到的..虽然你轻轻的踩在我坟墓上

And o'er my grave will warmer, sweeter be.
我的坟墓会温暖也会芬芳

And you will bend and tell me that you love me,
而你会弯下腰来告诉我...你爱我

then I shall sleep in peace until you come to me.
那我就能安心的睡一直等到你到来为止....
